Don’t be surprised if Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS-wear brand starts marketing itself as the “shapewear that saves lives,” because it does. Or at least it did for one Kansas City woman who’s now touting Kardashian’s bodysuits as “body armor for women.”
Page Six reports that Angelina Wiley was shot four times on January 1st, 2023, while waiting for a Lyft to take her home after a New Year’s celebration with friends. The drive-by gunfire left her with a ruptured bladder and a cracked pelvis, but according to Wiley, the damage could’ve been much worse. In a now-viral TikTok, Wiley revealed it was her SKIMS bodysuit, which she was wearing under her dress at the time, that staunched much of the bleeding — probably saving her life.
